410 L. de Niceville & Dr. L. Martin — Butterflies of Sumatra. [No. 3, 



bordered." It was described from Sumatra. This adds one more to 

 the twelve synonyms of N. leucotlioii given by me in "The Gazetteer 

 of Sikhim," p. 137 (1894). 



165. Neptis nata, Moore. 



Grose Smith. Hagen. A common species in the plains. It is a 

 little variable, in typical specimens the discal white band on the under- 

 side of the hindwing ends on the costal nervure, in others it ends on 

 the first subcostal nervule. I greatly doubt if the N. gononata, Butler, 

 from Malacca, is distinct from this species. 



166. Neptis duryodana, Moore. 



Grose Smith as duryodama [sic]. Snellen. A common species of 

 the plains in October. 



167. *Neptis nadina, Moore. 



Grose Smith as soma. N. soma, Moore, is a synonym of N. nadina, 

 Moore. It is probable that Mr. Grose Smith identified this species 

 from specimens similar to those which I subsequently described as 



N. clinioides. 



168. Neptis clinioides, de Niceville. 



N. clinioides, de Niceville, Jouru. A. S. B., vol. lxiii, pt. 2, p. 6, n. 5, pi. i, fig. 8, 

 male (1894). 



Very rare, a few specimens only have been obtained in the 

 liattak mountains and Central Plateau in June. 



169. Neptis SDSBDTA, Moore. 



Grose Smith. A common species in the low forests. 



170. *Neptis heliodora, Cramer. 



Hagen. Probably a wrong identification. It was described from 

 Amboina, and is apparently confined to the Moluccas. 



171. Neptis ophiana, Moore. 



Hagen as ophiana, var. ? Very rare, Dr. Martin has obtained a 

 single specimen. Herr Georg Semper places this species and its allies 

 in the genus Phaedyma, Felder, of which N. heliodora, Cramer, is 

 the type (Schmett. Philipp., p. 142 (1889). With the exception of 

 N. sankara, Kollar, N. clinioides, de Niceville, and N. ophiana, Moore, all 

 the black species of Neptis arc common insects, occurring everywhere 

 in open places, both in small jungle and in large forest, except N. susruta,
